Righteous Government

Some years ago, as a radio talk show host, I began to take a message to churches in the Miami, Florida area about a subject I called Righteous Government. I have attached an mp3 version of one of them to this post. By clicking the phrase "Righteous Government #3 - Righteous Government" above the "Gabcast" icon, you will be taken to a link where you can click "play" to listen to most of the 30 minute presentation.

Now, understand that this material is rather dated in some ways. You will note that there is some discussion of an effort to convene a second Constitutional Convention, supposedly for a limited purpose but which many people believed would be a vehicle to materially change many key provisions of the U.S. Constitution. Blessedly, that effort failed and the nation survived.

Nevertheless, as I listen to it again, I am amazed at just how relevant words spoken twenty years ago remain. Righteous Government is still defined as "public policy that agrees in principle with God's Holy Word and the election to office of those with that as their agenda." Likewise, righteousness with respect to our civil government consists of four things - 1) Register to Vote, 2) Register in the political party where you believe God would be pleased to have you register, 3) Be informed about the character and positions on issues of the day of those who will be on your voter's ballot, 4) Vote at every legal opportunity. For Christians, a fifth element would be to pray earnestly to God that He, using His own standards as to who is what, would exalt the righteous and cast down the wicked.

If you choose to listen to the address, I'd be interested to get a comment on the material. Just click the comments option below the post to do so.
